The bill amends state law to allow the commissioner of the department of education to halt all sources of public funding to public schools that fail to provide special education services in compliance with state and federal law. The commissioner must notify the state treasurer, who will then stop all funding to the school until the commissioner certifies compliance. This act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
